Part 6: Mahou-Shoujo Fusion?! Game Changer!

-Unknown Location
"Marika, you..." "Haru-Nii, let me take him on myself." Haruto looked at the changed Marika. Her Flame Style's colors had inverted, her cape had became shaped more like wings, and on her chest was an mark that resembled a horse's head. She was radiating a blazing aura; as the wind surrounded her, it seemed to catch fire. Dullahan was unfazed, and summoned both of his blades back to his side. "You really think that new form is gonna intimidate me?...YOU'RE SORELY MISTAKEN!!!" Dullahan charged towards her, swinging his two swords, when Marika just spun around. The resulting wind turned into flames, and one of Dullahan's swords turned to ash. "What the?!" Dullahan backed up, and held his one sword in both hands. "Let's see how you can handle me with all my power going into one blade!" Dullahan held his stance, when he was suddenly surrounded by shadows. The shadows swirled around his sword; when they disappeared, his sword had grown into a claymore. "You should consider yourself lucky girly, nobody has ever lived long enough to see this. And after I'm done with you, your cousin over there will be ne..." Marika gathered a large amount of fire into her palm and threw it Dullahan. The Phantom merely shrugged and cut the fireball in half. "Hehehe, is that all you got?" Dullahan jumped forward and slashed Marika directly in the chest, causing her to fly back and land in front of Haruto. "Marika!" "Stay back Haru-Nii!...I told you, I'd be the one to stop him." Marika got up, and slipped on a magic ring, one that Haruto was all too familiar with. ~CONNECT, ONEGAI?~ Marika pulled out her Magica Staff, switching it into sword mode. "So that's how it's gonna be huh? Bring it on then girly! I'll end you like I ended your sorry excuse for a brother!" ~LEVITATE, ONEGAI?~ The Magica Staff levitated in the air, as Marika put on a different magic ring and started scanning it over and over again on the staff's hand. ~COPY, ONEGAI?~ ~COPY, ONEGAI?~ ~COPY, ONEGAI?~ By the time she had finished, there was a total of 16 Magica Staffs in sword mode levitating in the air. "What the?!" Marika snapped her fingers, and all 16 swords shot forward, piercing through Dullahan's armor and pinning him to side of a wall. "Damn it, you bitch!" Marika snapped her fingers again, and all of the blades flew out of Dullahan. Dullahan took this chance, and charged forward, his claymore in hand. Marika snapped again, and all the blades flew towards him. Dullahan managed to counter and swing his sword in a way that deflected each blade coming at him, up until he was right in front of Marika. ~DEFEND, ONEGAI?~ Marika surrounded herself in a fiery shield as Dullahan kept trying to hack away at it. She snapped her fingers again, and the swords came back to her, just as she scanned another ring on them. ~BIG, ONEGAI?~ The swords entered magic circles, and emerged as large as Dullahan's claymore. Snapping her fingers one more time, Marika kicked Dullahan first, just as the swords pierced through and pinned him to the wall again. "Argh...you bitch, I'll kill you!!!" Dullahan tried to struggle free, when Marika pulled out one of the swords and began to slash at him. Haruto, who was helping Kizaki up, couldn't believe what he was seeing. "Marika, just finish him already! Stop torturing him! Is that what your brother would've wanted?!" Marika froze in place, dropping her blade. "You're right Haru-Nii...I'll end this for him..." Marika backed up, and pulled out the red magic ring she was given when she received her other rings Wajima made her. ~KAKKOII! UNIQUE. SUGOI!~ Marika floated up into the air, as flames circled her until they entered her back. From her chest, Magisus's head emerged, charging a ball of fiery energy. "No...wait...stop! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I don't want to leave this world yet!!!" Haruto looked shocked to see Dullahan begging for his life. The swords piercing him disappeared, and he began to run away as Magisus was still charging. While running, he reverted into his human form, that of a high school boy. "This is for my brother... Burn in hell." "Please, stop...SAVE ME MEDUSA-SAMA!!!" Magisus launched the fireball at Dullahan, completely incinerating him in a matter of seconds. Marika floated downwards, and her transformation ceased, reverting to human form. She walked to where Dullahan once was, only to see absolutely nothing but scorch marks in the road. Haruto approached her, placing a hand on her shoulder. Immediately, she turned and put her head against his chest and began to cry uncontrollably. Haruto looked stunned at first, but held her tight as he tried to calm her down. Kizaki looked on at the two, and called for back up to arrive at the scene.

-Antique Shop Omokagedo
"Haruto! Are you okay?" Koyomi was there to greet Haruto at the door, who was carrying Marika on his back, passed out. "Yeah, Koyomi...we need a place for her to rest." Shunpei and Rinko ran to Haruto's side and took Marika off his back, setting her on the couch. "She really exhausted herself, huh?" "What about her brother, Haruto-San?" Haruto grew silent, as he laid his hand on Marika's head. "He's no longer with us." The entire room was silent, as Rinko went to Marika and held her hand. "Poor Marika-Chan...She finally found her brother, and now he's gone..." "But I won't let her succumb to despair. She's not alone anymore." Haruto said. Suddenly, he noticed something about her pendant. Reaching down, he found it could open; it was a locket. Inside, there was a picture of Haruto as a child, alongside a little girl- Marika. "I can't believe she kept this inside her pendant." Marika began to stir, as Haruto closed the pendant and placed it back on her. As he turned to walk away, he felt Marika tugging on his sleeve. He looked at her, and she at him. "Can you stay here a little longer, Haru-Nii?" He took a seat, and held Marika's hand. "Sure, your Haru-Nii is here for you." Haruto said with a smile. "I can't believe her brother is gone now," said Chika to Wajima, who was still working on the pink-purple stone Marika had given him. "What about you Chika-chan, where is your family?" Chika looked down, and walked closer to Wajima. "I can't remember. I don't remember my family at all. Or who I am. All I had on me after the ritual was a paper that said Chika. I took that on as my name." "Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot you were in the same situation as Koyomi." "It's fine Wajima-san. May I get you some tea?" "Ah, yes please. I don't know how much longer this magic stone will take to carve, but I'll try my hardest to make Marika a new ring." Chika left into the kitchen, and looked on at Haruto and Marika- Marika was fast asleep and Haruto was also asleep, laying his head beside her. Chika walked around and placed blankets on both of them, and returned to fetching Wajima's tea.

-Wiseman's Lair
The lair of Wiseman was still murky as ever. In front of his curtain, Wiseman could see Medusa and Phoenix approaching, and called out to them. "Medusa, why have two of the Phantoms under your watch perished?" "Wiseman-Sama, one of them was a traitor, and the other was taken out by a female wizard." "Female wizard?" "Yeah, and apparently, she's even more powerful than the other wizard!" "Is that so, Phoenix?" Medusa and Phoenix got into a pose similar to how knights greet their kings. "Yes, Wiseman-Sama. Her magic potential is very high. In fact, she can still fall into despair." Wiseman bolted up and started stroking his chin. "Is that so?" "Yes sir. I shall get another Phantom to go after her and-" "Not necessary, Medusa, I have another idea in mind." From behind, Medusa and Phoenix could hear someone approaching. They turned to see a young man, dressed in a sleeveless shirt, with scars over his muscled arms. "All those Phantoms you two have been sending out have been nothing but failures, which is why Wiseman-Sama called me in." "What was that punk?" As soon as Phoenix came within range, the young man grabbed the back of Phoenix's head and slammed it into the ground. "Phoenix!" Medusa summoned her blade and charged at the man, who dodged every swing she made and grabbed onto her weapon, before shattering it in his hands. "Are you done now?" "Enough!" The three backed away from each other as they heard Wiseman's voice. "You know your mission. "Yes Wiseman-sama." As the man walked away, Medusa and Phoenix kept a close eye on him. "You two better not interfere with my mission...Yugo, Misa." The two Phantoms looked at him confused. How exactly did that guy know their civillian form's names. He turned and kept walking, with both Phantoms stunned and asking themselves what they knew about him. It wasn't until the man pulled out something from his pocket that Medusa spoke. "That's!..."
